English is unquestionably the most universally understood language. Where English is not the mother tongue, it is usually the preferred second choice. Proficiency in English sets one apart not only in one’s personal sphere but even on an international platform. Proficiency does not comprise just the ability to speak and write well – it also encompasses a good grounding in and appreciation of the language - its prose, its poetry, the way it has evolved over time and the way it has been influenced by different cultures.

Even those of us who come from ‘English speaking homes’ tend to the idiomatic and colloquial, without realizing the grammatical traps we fall into. The need to finely hone one’s skills and the tools to achieve this have been the quest of many and while you may find these readily in a bricks and mortar institution, an online course which trains, advises and develops the student, is rare.

This certificate course will do exactly what it says – it will teach you to appreciate and use the English Language to the manner born!
